Feared the worst when it leaked that the WWE had put a trademark on the name. And of course, It had to be true.

Seriously, what the fuck? The guy is one of the top 2 or 3 most talented guys in the roster. Leagues ahead of everyone else is NXT. Has made a name for himself as “WALTER” on both the weekly shows and the occasional Takeover. And now you’re changing his name to THAT? So you can own merchandising rights?

I guess the “good” news is this probably means it’ll be six months max before they completely fuck him up in NXT or the main roster, and then he can sign with AEW or New Japan or something.
